REFRIGERATOR.

To all whom it may cou/ccm Be it known that I, MAX GOLDMAN, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at 974 East 179th St., New York, in thecounty of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulRefrigerator, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in refrigerators or ice boxes,including water coolers, and it consists in the novel featureshereinafter more fully described.

The objects of my improvement are:

First, to combine an ice box with a Water cooler in such a. way as toenable water to be drawn cold from a suitable receptacle in the ice box.

Second, to have said cooler adapted to cool water very rapidly afterpouring the water thereinto.

Third, to have a special cooler combined with the ice box, whereinmineral water, such as seltzer or vichy, may be drawn from a bottle orso called siphon through a coil of tubing, very rapidly cooling thebeverage, also to have said siphon opened without removing the same fromthe ice box; and

Fourth, to have said refrigerator simple, durable and inexpensive.

I attain these objects by the refrigerator illustrated in theaccompanying drawings or by any mechanical equivalent or obviousmodification of the same.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a vertical section on the line A-B of Fig. 2omitting the supports for the coils 13 and 14, hereinafter described,and sundry other details of construction; Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectionon the line CHD of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a part of a horizontal section onthe line E-F of Fig. 1.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

11 designates the refrigerator-chamber, which may be of any usual orspecial construction; 12 is the lining of the same, which is usuallymade of zinc.

13 is a coil of tubing arranged to serve as a grating or support for acake of ice; the pipes or tubes of the coil 13 are in com municationwith the elevated tank 16 by means of the stand pipe 15.

It is evident that the coil 13 will serve as a reservoir ofrefrigerating effect, and that, when water be poured into the tank 16,descending to the interior of the coil 113, it will cool very rapidlybycontact with the very cold metal of the coil 13, which terminates at itsouter end in the faucet or cock 25 for drawing cold water therefrom.

The tank 16 may be Supportedr in position by the brackets 17 which areshown in Fi 1 with the fastenings omitted, and whic may be secured tothe rear wall of the chamber 11.

24 designates a drawer which serves as a receptacle for a bottle orsiphon 22 of mineral water known as seltzer or vichy, which is shown inFigs. 1 and 3 in a horizontal position, but which may be arranged in anyother position, if desired.

The discharge spout or nozzle 27 of said bottle or siphon 22 is shown asconnected by means of the flexible tube 21 to the stand pipe 19, whichcommunicates with the interior of the coil 14, which serves to cool anymineral water, which may enter it, and to do it with great rapidity, thecoil 14 mayalso support part of the ice deposited on the coil 13.

The drawer 24 is provided with a slot in the bottom thereof, to clearthe stand pipe 19 when said drawer 24 is drawn out to deposit a bottleor Siphon of mineral water therein.

It is evident that by means of the above arrangement a bottle or siphonof mineral water may be deposited in the refrigerator and have thebeverage drawn ice cold at once, without waiting for the bottle to getcold slowly, as is the case with the usual ice boxes.

The coil 14 terminates at its under end in the faucet or cock 26.

To make the action of drawing mineral water from the siphon possiblewithout removing the same from the ice box I provide the push rod 23,which has a sliding fit through the front wall of the drawer 24; theinner end of said rod 23 is in contact with the valve lever or handle 28of the siphon, and, by depressing the same, it causes the mineral waterto flow from the Siphon 21 through the coil 14 and faucet 26.

In this wa mineral water may be drawn from the sip on 21 without openingthe ice box, thereby avoiding a waste of ice.

Many changes could be made in the details of my refrigerator withoutdeparting from the main scope of my invention.

I do not therefore restrict myself to the details as shown in thedrawings; but I intend coil of tubing in said ice chamber, said coil 10termlniting at one end in a standpipe reaching into said drawer througha slot in one oi the Walls thereof, a flexible removable means adeptedtoconnect the upper end of said stand pipe with ihe dischargeV of a si-.phon oi mineral water, when said Siphon is placed in the drawer, andmeans for intermittently causing the Siphon to discharge a portion oiits oonents through the flexible connecting means', stand pipe and coil.

MAX GOLDMAN.
